ProprietarY Medicines.

A visit to DR.. Green's Laboratory. at
Woodbury., N. j., has considerably chang
ed our views, and especially our preiu-
dices in regard to what are generally
known as STANDARD Patent Medicines"
Of course we are getting to that age in
life when we are forced to conclude Life
itselfis ahumbug, and naturally distrust
anything that has not withstood long and
tried experience. Being physician
had the curiosity to know how such Il
sale of two medical preparations could
be sustained for so many years. The
perfect system upon which the business
is conducted, and the pharmaceutical ar
rangements for the manufacture of the
two recipes with which we were made
acquainted, are sufficiently convincing
to us that the AUGUST FLOWER, for Dys-
pepsia and Liver Complaints, and Bos-
CHEFS GERMAN SYRUP, for Throat and
Lung Troubles, were for the complaints,
n are recommended, most excellent

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has
largely benefited the consumers, as well
as relieving the burden of home manu-
features. Especially is this the case with

six cents per dozen, has been added to
increase the size of the bottles contain

Deserve Success.

The ladies of Snow Hill, Md, began a
most praiseworthy work on last Friday.
They held a fair and supper in one of
the hotels for the purpose of raising
money to buy portable fire-engine.
This is very sensible move. All coun-
try towns, without an engine, should
adopt such measures as the sensible PEG
pie of Snow Hill are doing. An engine
for Newark can easily be secured, if the
people need one. THE LEDGER has
preached and advised the people here to
take some action toward providing means
to fight fire, when one comes. Our
talk has been in vain. The town expends
so much every year in improvements
when part of such expenditure could be
put in fire engine.

PEOPLES COLUMN.

CowANTowN, Mp, Dec. eth, 1886.
MEssRs EDITORS, SIRs.-Please allow
me space in your columns to give vent to
few expressions about the doings of
myself and jackson Hall. A lesson can
be learned by what has TRANSFERRED the
past summer and fall months. Oil can
not be mixed with water, neither can
you mix religion with the world. wish
to be as brief as possible, but speak to
the point. An organ was purchased for
the jackson Hall the Sabbath school
(ofwhich l was superintendent, or have
tried to do my duty as such,) paid what
they agreed to pay $500, and one of
the Sabbath school-a member of the
glee club-that they would pay the other
$25. for use of said organ this winter.
This glee club met at the Hall several
times. | was not member, knew moth
ing of their financial affairs, but supposed
they had according to promise, paved
their share on the said organ, until to my
surprise letter come to me from the
firm of Otto, Sutro & Co., aUherein a men,
Der of this glee club, and a scholar of NV
bible class, had used my name in false
pretence, quite an impudent and daring
trick for any man to do. The best wav
to explain this matter is to read the fol-
lowing letter l received from said firm
which is as follows; Baltimore, Dec.
10th, 1886. Mr. VIM. G. Hawthorne
Cowantown, Md, Dear Sir, Three months
ago we sold an organ to Mr.. w. q. Hen
derson, for $4,000, less or organ returned
$25. difference $25. or spot cash. This
balance has not yet been paid. Although
we have written about it several times.
We have never heard from him until
now. He writes us that you have as
sumed the responsibility. We therefore
write to inform you that the transaction
was strictly spot cash, and that we shall
have to charge interest on it, from the
date of the sale. Also that if it is not set
tied by the end the present month, we
will have to place it in the hands of a
lawyer for collection, very truly, Otto.
Sutro Il Co." This letter l answered
denying the assertion of ever assuming
any responsibility of paying what the
glee club agreed to pay, / positively deny
any thing of this kind. l cleared myself
also the school, for they had paved all
they agreed to pay. Another letter
came in answer to the one wrote. which
read as follows "Mr. w, C. Henderson
bought the organ in good faith and he
was expected to pay the difference, S25
in cash" We have had flourishing
Sabbath school all summer, but a little
difficulty arose sometime ago about a
singing class meeting in the Hall and |
am afraid the Sabbath school must close
by the actions of the rustees-the au-
thority they take without lawful right
to do so we forgive you for your past of
fence but ask you kindly to not turn our
Sabbath school out in the cold, when
you have no right to do so. If the trus-
tees will open the door of the hall for
Sabbath school it will be continued, if
not, suppose we must finally close. If
have any cause to write another letter
for The LEDGER, will give an account
Of our financial affairs pertaining to our
Sabbath school. w. q. HAwTHoRNE.

with boiler from the Hilles & Jones
works, of Wilmington. The future of the
mill WINS not less promising than the past,
able supervision, intelligent and active
methods, and strict integrity in filling
orders having contributed to the good
reputation of the establishment.
NOTES.
The cause of the fire is supposed to
have been spontaneous combustion. 1t
took place at time when the mill was
least easily protected. The fire could not
have made any progress on any work
day or night.
The fire causes a withdrawal from cir
culation in this neighborhood of about
$500 per month, the amount Of the pay
roll without considering any question
but the wages of the operatives.
At one time the house of VIM. Dean
was threatened with destruction deter
mined efforts saved it.
While engaged in aiding the hose COM
panies of Wilmington, John Johnston, a
carpenter of this town was accidentally
cut about the eye. George Neidermaier,
Wilmington fireman, had his leg hurt
while helping to load at the Wilmington
station.
The visiting fremen won much praise
for their determined efforts to put out
the fire. After their aid was of no fur
ther avail, they were driven to the Deer
Park Hotel, and the Washington House,
where the respective proprietors, John f.
Lewis, and James Wilson, provided them
with turkey dinners.
There is room for new mill. There
is room for it soon. Every citizen of
Newark is interested in it. Let the local
stockholders use their influence to have
it rebuilt. There is money in it. Now
that the b. 4 o., Railroad gives a new
outlet, Newark should have bright
future.

The Only Way to Conquer Dyspepsia

1t is perfectly preposterous to introduce
pepsin and other artificial solvents into
the stomach, in the expectation that they
will assist digestion by acting on the food
itself They will not. Nor is it possible
thus to overcome dyspepsia. The only
way to conquer that disorder, and pre-
vent the numerous diseases and disabili-
ties which it assuredly provokes, is to
renew the activity of gastric action by
strengthening the stomach Hostetters
Stomach Bitters eradicates the most in
veterate forms Of indigestion by restoring
vitality to the alimentary organs, and
those which are tributary to them The
liver, the bowels, the Kidneys and the
nerves, no less than the stomach, exper-
cethe invigorative effects ofthat stand
ard tonic, which possesses Alternative pro-
perties that greatly enhance its beneficial
influence, and give a permanence to its
effects which they would not otherwise
possess.

Horrible Accident at Elkton.

George lamar, of Cherry Hill, Md.
aged % years, was accidentally killed on
Thursday morning. While driving a
team down Providence hill, short dis
lance from Elkton, the unfortunate
man in some way unknown fell off the
heavy load ofpulp be was taking to the
singerly paper mills, and rolled under
the wheels, which passed over his head,
MASKING it to jelly. Another team, fol-
lowing closely and unable to stop, owing
to the steepness of the hill, passed over
the body of lamar, crushing it badly.
The coroner's jury rendered verdict of
accidental death. The remains were
taken in charge by the Red Men ofCher-
ry Hill, to which order lamar belonged.

Christmas for the Little Folks.

The announcement that 1T is more
blessed TO give than to receive" was
more fully exemplifed and set forth on
Monday evening last, when the hearts of
the little folks of the Christian Sabbath
School were made glad by friendly visit
from Santa Clms, who came not with
empty hands, Of whom more will pres
emily be said. The school under the care
full management Of the officers and teach
ers, gave a very pleasing Entertainment
in Caskey Hall, before large number Of
friends, who expressed themselves as be-
ing delighted with the program, which
consisted Of music, recitations, select and
responsive readings, etc. Miss Mamie
Whistler, presided at the organ with
great accepabliiy. Prof G.. p. Coler of
Baltimore being present, made a few
practical remarks and closed his address
by having little pleasantly with the
children who were all of the same opin-
ion, that the best was yet to come. I'M
mediately the lights were turned down
and the merrie jinging of bells behind
the curtain was indicative that Santa
Claus was surely coming, which fact was
established by the raising of the curtain,
thus revealing the old fellow, who sat in
full sized sleigh, filled with good things
for the faithful boys and girls. Before
the sleigh pranced the make-believe-
reindeers. The stage was handsomely
decorated with regular grove of shrub
berry which was laden down with beauti-
full snow, which seemed to outrival
the hoary head and the venerable
beard of Old Kriss.

CHRISTMAS TIDE.
Exercises Of the Presbyterian Sabbath
School.


School.
The Presbyterian Sabbath School held
their Christmas tide exercises on Tues
day evening in the church of that de-
nomination. The large room was COM
pletely filed by an orderly and interested
audience, every one Of whom probably
were aflerward glad they had been there.
70 begin with, the exercises were unus-
ually interesting The music was pleas
ant, light, and agreeable, the responsive
exercises were suggestive, the recitations
were tasteful and appropriate, and the
manner of execution left nothing TO he
desired. But more than this, aside from
the entertainment afforded, there was
practical good done, the appropriateness
of which must have commended itself to
all who witnessed it. II is the habit of
this Sabbath School at these Christmas
tide services to bring offerings, as coffee,
sugar, games, clothing, money, ETC., to be
sent to some worthy recipient. 1t was
at first intended to send to the Children's
Ward of the Presbyterian Hospital at
Philadelphia, but in view of last Satur-
days fire, the original purpose was
abandoned, and the offerings were placed
in the hands of Il responsible committee,
who are to distribute them among those
Of the mill operatives who are least pre-
pared to pass the winter without EN-
ployment. Certainly worthy object,
and done without ostentation or parade.
Of the exercises it is impossible to COM
mend everything worthy of mention.
There was nothing tame or dull. The
exercises consisted of singing by the
school, chorus singing quartets, duets,
solos, and congregational singing
responsive exercises by the school, pas
tor and superintendent recitation,
"What December Says" by Miss Lizzie
Butterworth a recitation in concert by
seven or eight little ones, a fervid prayer
by Rev. Anderson, of Glasgow, and short
addresses by Rev. Cation, of Chesapeake
City, and Rev. Joseph Malone.
List, the Christmas Bells~ full
chorus of thirty voices, with chimes of
bells, and cornet, was particularly fine in
expression. Fear Not" Il solo by Miss
Nora Raub, was rendered in fine style,
and added fresh lire ID the reputation
the singer. These two were uil-
doubtedly the best selections in diiis
formly good list of music.
An innovation this year was the offer
ing of prizes for good work in the shape
of competitive essays. A prize was given
to that member of the Bible cass-Mrs.
Joseph Malone, teacher-who wrote the
best essay on "The Lords Prayer"
This prize, a beautiful copy of the Pres.
byterian hymnal, was awarded to Miss
Gussie Holloway. Other prizes for es-
says of a different grade, or for proficien-
cy in recitation of the Westminster Cat
ecism, were awarded to Misses BERTHE
Gamble, Anna Southland, Davine McKin-
sey, and Grace Herdman. As the pastor
remarked, "Where are the boys?" The
committee on essays were unanimous in
all their awards.
After the benediction, the children
were called up by classes, and given or
anges and candies, the most important
part of the programme to them. Many

HISTORY OF THE PLANT.

In 1915, Joseph Dean, father of Will
lam Dean, started the plant which devel-
oped into the fine establishment destroy
ed last Saturday. Since that time the
name of Dean has been well known in
the wooden trade. Through various
changes the mill prospered, and in war
times many contract was filled for
Uncle Sam. In 1882 a stock company
was formed, its President being Angus
tus Thomas, of Philadelphia, and its SUI
perintendent, William Dean. At this
time the capacity was largely increased
and much machinery was added, build
ings enlarged, etc. Late this fall, 1886,
more machinery was added, together
